The results of research on the activation of the microflora by using post-harvest green manure crops were presented. As a result of the conducted studies, the positive effect of sidereal crops of Raphanus sativum and Phacelia tanacetifolia on activity increase of microflora in black soil with little humus was revealed. Application of post-harvest siderates increased the number of non-sporous species of bacteria and actinomycetales, contributed to improvement of soil environment under the influence of siderates, which had a positive effect on creating more comfortable conditions for growing potatoes. The usage of green fertilizers had a positive influence on microbiology activity of soil.

Oceniono możliwości zastosowania procesu koagulacji do oczyszczania popłuczyn z płukania złóż filtracyjnych pracujących w układzie cyrkulacji wody basenowej. Usunięcie części zanieczyszczeń z popłuczyn pozwoliłoby na ich odprowadzanie bezpośrednio do środowiska (np. do nawadniania zieleni) oraz na ograniczenie ilości ścieków odprowadzanych do kanalizacji. W badaniach laboratoryjnych zastosowano cztery różne koagulanty – glinowe (PAX) i żelazowe (PIX) – w zakresie dawek od 1,5 mg/dm3 do 6,0 mg/dm3. Analizie zmian wartości wybranych wskaźników fizyczno-chemicznych (barwa, zawiesiny ogólne, mętność, chlor ogólny, fosfor ogólny, absorbancja w nadfiolecie, ChZT oraz wskaźnik fenolowy) towarzyszyła także analiza fitotoksyczności składników popłuczyn (cieczy nadosadowej i osadów) w stosunku do wybranych roślin wskaźnikowych – rzęsa (Lemna minor) i rzeżucha (Lepidium sativum). Przeprowadzone testy naczyniowe procesu koagulacji pozwoliły na uzyskanie jakości popłuczyn pozwalającej na wprowadzenie ich bezpośrednio do środowiska. Niezależnie od zastosowanego rodzaju koagulantu, poprawa jakości fizyczno-chemicznej popłuczyn została osiągnięta już przy dawkach w zakresie 1,5÷3,0 mg/dm3, przy czym najskuteczniejszy okazał się PAX 25, będący mieszaniną polichlorku glinu i chlorku żelaza(II). Dodatkowo nie odnotowano efektu fitotoksycznego zarówno cieczy nadosadowej, jak i osadów pokoagulacyjnych. Tak oczyszczone popłuczyny mogą być wykorzystane na przykład do nawadniania zieleni na terenach obiektów basenowych.

Applicability of coagulation technique in purification of filter washings from the swimming pool circulation system was evaluated. Removal of some of the contaminants from washings would allow for their discharge directly into the environment (e.g., for irrigation of greenery) and limiting the amount of sewage entering the sewer. In the laboratory studies, four different coagulants were used – aluminum (PAX) and ferric (PIX) – in doses ranging 1.5–6.0 mg/dm3. In addition, the analysis of fluctuations of the values of selected physicochemical parameters (color, general suspensions, turbidity, total chlorine, total phosphorus, ultraviolet absorbance, COD and phenol index) was accompanied by the analysis of washing components (supernatant liquid and sediments) phytotoxicity against the selected indicator plants – eyelash (Lemna minor) and cress (Lepidium sativum). The jar tests conducted throughout the coagulation process resulted in washings of quality adequate to be introduced directly into the environment. Regardless of the type of coagulant used, the improvement of physicochemical parameters of washings was achieved already at doses in the range of 1.5–3.0 mg/dm3, with PAX 25, polyaluminum chloride and iron chloride(II) mixture, being the most effective. In addition, no phytotoxic effect of both the supernatant and post-coagulation sediments was noted. Such purified washings could be employed for example in watering greenery at swimming pool areas.

The possibility of using the process of coagulation for purifying the filter backwash water from a swimming pool water system has been presented. The assessment of the process efficiency based on the physicochemical parameters was extended by a phytotoxicity analysis of products (sludges and supernatant liquids) obtained from the coagulation processes. The phytotoxicity of sludges was examined with respect to garden cress (Lepidium sativum) and white mustard (Sinapis alba), while duckweed (Lemna minor) was used for studying liquids. Coagulation process was highly effective in purifying backwash water when the lowest of the studied aluminum coagulant doses (from 7 to 20 mg/dm3) was used. Moreover, the phytotoxicity assessment of backwash water allowed the determination of the hazard toward plants, which would be posed by using the backwash water for plant irrigation. The high stimulation of the growth of plant indices, observed in samples with raw backwash water, was caused by nutritive nitrogen and phosphorus. Their removal, in the case of postcoagulation solutions, significantly contributed to the inhibition of plant growth. In turn, sludges derived from both raw washings and coagulation exhibited phytotoxicity.

Normal oxygen metabolism is an endogenous source of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The source of ROS are also many environmental factors including heavy metals. In certain concentration range, the presence of ROS is necessary to maintain proper cell function. Thus, cells have many mechanisms, which role is focused on maintaining a constant concentration of ROS. Imbalance between the formation of ROS and action of a protective antioxidant system leads to oxidative stress. This may results with a damage to the structure of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, which in turn can lead to disturbances in the functioning of the cell and even to the death. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of copper ions on the metabolic activity of garden cress Lepidium sativum L. The action of copper ions with different concentrations was treated seeds. After four, six and eight days after planting in the leaves of garden cress were determined the specific activity of guaiacol peroxidase (GPOX), lipid peroxidation and protein content. Additionally intake of copper ions was determined using adsorption spectrometry technique. The results revealed that the applied doses of copper ions affected the activity of guaiacol peroxidase. The highest enzyme activity was found in plant material, which was treated with dose of copper ions 1000 mg/dm3 regardless of day. In the same samples the lowest level of lipid peroxidation was found. The highest concentrations of total proteins was found in samples treated with the highest dose of copper ions. The copper content in the tested plant material is correlated with the applied dose of copper ions. Our results indicate reliable correlations between copper content and values of oxidative stress biomarkers in plant tissues.

Kadm (Cd) jest metalem ciężkim, który w wyniku działań człowieka stał się głównym zanieczyszczeniem środowiska. Charakteryzuje się wysoką toksycznością dla wszystkich organizmów żywych. Symptomem toksyczności kadmu dla roślin są przede wszystkim zmiany morfologiczne, ograniczenie procesów fotosyntezy oraz stres oksydacyjny. Efekt zwiększenia odporności na stres można uzyskać, stosując różne związki egzogenne. Do takich związków należy między innymi kwas salicylowy (SA). Celem niniejszej pracy jest ocena wpływu kwasu salicylowego na stres metaboliczny u pieprzycy siewnej Lepidium sativum wywołany wzrastającymi stężeniami kadmu. W liściach pieprzycy siewnej oznaczano ilości białka, chlorofilu i produktów peroksydacji lipidów (TBARS) oraz aktywność peroksydazy, jednego z enzymów charakterystycznych dla stresu oksydacyjnego. Wyniki badań ujawniły, że kadm w stężeniu 200 mg/dm3, zgodnie z oczekiwaniami, negatywnie oddziaływał na wzrost i rozwój pieprzycy siewnej. Jednocześnie badania potwierdziły wpływ kwasu salicylowego na zwiększenie odporności na stres oksydacyjny u pieprzycy siewnej wywołany kadmem. Zastosowanie SA przed moczeniem nasion w roztworze kadmu zwiększyło stężenie białka w liściach w porównaniu do prób traktowanych wyłącznie kadmem, choć nie osiągało stężenia jak w próbie kontrolnej. SA natomiast skutecznie znosił ujemny wpływ kadmu na zawartość chlorofilu a i b. Ponadto zwiększał aktywność peroksydazy, choć zastosowana dawka (1 g/dm3) nie była w stanie całkowicie zahamować procesu peroksydacji lipidów.

Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal, which due to human activities has become a major environmental pollution. It has high toxicity for all living organisms. The symptoms of toxicity of cadmium in plants are primarily morphological changes, reduction of photosynthesis and oxidative stress. The effect of increasing the stress resistance can be obtained using a variety of exogenous compounds. Such compounds include salicylic acid (SA). The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of salicylic acid on metabolic stress with garden cress Lepidium sativum caused by increasing concentrations of cadmium. In the leaves of garden cress were determined the protein and the chlorophyll concentration, the amount of lipid peroxidation products (TBARS) and peroxidase activity, one of the enzymes characteristic for oxidative stress. The results revealed that the cadmium concentration of 200 mg/dm3, as expected, adversely affected the growth and development of garden cress. At the same time our studies confirmed the effect of salicylic acid to increase the resistance to oxidative stress in garden cress caused by cadmium. The use of SA before soaking the seeds in a solution of cadmium increased concentration of the protein in the leaves as compared to samples treated only cadmium but could not be achieved as the concentrations in the control. On the other hand SA effective endured negative effect of cadmium on the content of chlorophyll a and b. In addition, SA increased peroxidase activity, although the dose (1 g/dm3) was not able to completely stop the process of lipid peroxidation.

Despite limiting the transport emitted pollution, contamination of the roadside environment remains an important issue. Due to necessity to decrease the lead emission, catalytic converters modifications were introduced. It caused increase of Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) emission, which was rare in the environment before. So far there is lack of information about platinum contamination to functioning of plants which are so important in the urban environment. In the experiment garden cress (Lepidium sativum) were sown into Petri dishes filled with filter paper soaked with solutions of different platinum concentration. There were used two compounds containing platinum at different oxidation states PtCl4 - ssolutions containing 0.58, 2.89, 5.79, 11.58 and 23.16 mg Pt4+•dm−3 and [Pt(NH3)4] (NO3)2 - solutions containing 0.50, 2.52, 5.04, 10.08 and 20.15 mg Pt2+•dm−3 in every combination of the experiment. In every combination there were five Petri dishes, experiment was repeated twice. To estimate plant response to stress factor, phenolic compounds contents were analyzed in the roots and shoots parts separately. The highest amount of total phenolics in roots was recorded in plants treated with highest Pt4+ dose which was 23.16 mg•dm−3, seeds treated with other doses of platinum (including those treated with highest dose of Pt2+ did not differ significantly from control plants. In the case of phenolic compounds in the aboveground parts of seedlings there was highest accumulation than in roots. Highest amounts of phenolics were recorded in plants also treated with Pt4+ in doses 11.58 and 23.16 mg•dm−3.

The impact of 137Cs and 90Sr activity concentrations from 0.4 to 400 kBqźL-1 and from 1 to 200 kBqźL-1, respectively, on seed germination of Lepidium sativum was insignificant; however, all concentrations of 137Cs and 30 kBqźL-1 concentration of 90Sr slightly stimulated root growth. The accumulated 137Cs and 90Sr stimulated shoot and parenchyma cell growth; 137Cs suppressed RNA-polymerase II activity, and 90Sr, on the contrary, stimulated it. Different genotoxic effects on Tradescantia clone 02 stamen hair cells were observed with comparable 137Cs and 90Sr activity concentrations. Activity concentrations of 137Cs from 0.001 to 1.3 kBqźL-1 were more effective in Tradescantia clone 02 stamen hair cell reproduction, whereas the studied activity concentrations of 90Sr (from 0.002 to 640 kBqźL-1) induced more mutations. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
